Her latest project was the personal body armor company, his engineers had developed numerous new designs in body armor over the years and were know for their innovative ideas and approaches to complicated problems. Now she hoped they could be used to aid in her personal habits by making her a full armored suit out of the latest material they had developed that could stand up to almost any abuse before she sold the company.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Making Nina Scream</title><link>/stories/2018/05/26/making-nina-scream/</link><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/05/26/making-nina-scream/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;With everything already in place, Eric sat on the couch hoping that tonight was going to go as smoothly as he imagined it would more than he was paying attention to the television in front of him.  It had taken just under three months to tease, test, and prepare Nina so that nothing would go wrong with his plans.  For so long, he’d been looking for a new sex slave and she was going to be perfect.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sara's Mannequin Suit 2: The Nosy Neighbor</title><link>/stories/2016/09/03/saras-mannequin-suit-2-the-nosy-neighbor/</link><pubDate>Sat, 03 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/09/03/saras-mannequin-suit-2-the-nosy-neighbor/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="sarasmannequinsuit.html"&gt;story continues from part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter 2: The Nosy Neighbor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gavin awoke to the sight of his wife’s face. “Wake up kitty, I’ve got to go run a few errands.” Sara had changed out of her sexy outfit into a more comfortable velvet sweat suit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gavin stood up and nearly fell having forgotten about his imprisoned feet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m going to have to keep you safe while I’m gone, I can’t have an untrained cat alone in the house. Follow me.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Return Of Ankhesenamun 3: Ankhesenamun's Slave</title><link>/stories/2016/08/19/return-of-ankhesenamun-3-ankhesenamuns-slave/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/08/19/return-of-ankhesenamun-3-ankhesenamuns-slave/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="returnofankhesenamun2.html"&gt;Part Two&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 3: Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s Slave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kendell glanced around herself despondently. Only yesterday, she&amp;rsquo;d rushed into this apartment. She&amp;rsquo;d been trying to save Gina, her friend, from the curse of Ankhesenamun, an ancient Egyptian priestess. Instead, she&amp;rsquo;d found Gina&amp;rsquo;s body already possessed by Ankhesenamun spirit. She, herself, had quickly found herself enslaved by Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s powers, unable to refuse any command, including the latest one, to remain in this apartment until Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s return.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Model Trap</title><link>/stories/2016/07/16/model-trap/</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/07/16/model-trap/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Simone and Kate met at the university where they study. They like each other from the beginning. Therefore, they are drawn together in a flat since second semesters to save money for living, because students are customary always short of money. Some try themselves as waitress in one of the many bars around the university. Unfortunately, this part time job isn´t the right one for the girls, because they dropped the tray at the first trial work and the drinks are poured over a guest. This is why the two girls always browse the newspapers for quick and easy jobs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cindy</title><link>/stories/2016/05/28/cindy/</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/05/28/cindy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;There is an old joke about; &amp;ldquo;How do you boil a frog?&amp;rdquo; Answer; “one degree at a time&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ed and Sandra had been married for 15 years and three kids when Ed left for Cindy. Sandra was doubly crushed only to find out that Ed would leave her and remarry the very next month. Well then…, within a year Cindy left Ed when she discovered that ”The Well” wasn&amp;rsquo;t deep enough for her life style. This caused Ed to cut his child and spousal support to Sandra in order to meet the new demands from Cindy and her lawyer. It seems that Cindy&amp;rsquo;s lawyer did a great job of cleaning Ed out of house and home.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Johnson Rope Factory 2b: The Not So Nice</title><link>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2b-the-not-so-nice/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2b-the-not-so-nice/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continued from &lt;a href="johnsonropefactory.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I then heard the truck&amp;rsquo;s engine shut off and what I presumed was the drivers door open and close, followed by a nearly identical noise a second time, telling me that there were two people who had just exited the truck. I say nearly identical because the second door had been closed with a gentle touch, where the first had not.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Johnson Rope Factory 2c: Beckett Automation</title><link>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2c-beckett-automation/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/01/13/the-johnson-rope-factory-2c-beckett-automation/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continued from &lt;a href="johnsonropefactory2b.html"&gt;part 2b: The Not So Nice short conclusion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the rest of the dark conclusion to The Johnson Rope Factory that I hadstarted some time ago, you are forewarned as it might not be to everybody&amp;rsquo;s liking. Constructive comments always welcome, especially with regard to the nature of the ending.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip;I found myself (and my spool) on that truck deck and strapped down for shipping while pondering the irony of my fate, my lust for kinky games in combination with a desire for a new and dominate playmate perhaps my final undoing. I had a foreboding feeling that one day my precious machines could play a part in sealing my fate, but not like this&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Perfect Setup</title><link>/stories/2015/06/26/the-perfect-setup/</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/06/26/the-perfect-setup/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I had only been to our Kansas office twice in the last five years for cursory check-ins but now this branch was falling apart and they sent me in for an extended stay to clean up the mess.
The only place to stay within in a reasonable distance to the office was a second rate motel just outside of town. I had stayed here on my previous trips and it was certainly nothing extraordinary to write home about. Just a place to lay my head down each night with the sound of traffic buzzing on a busy street.
It had been another day of pulling people into my temporary office for fact finding interviews and people assesment. The work was emotionally draining and I needed some deeper intellectual stimulation not related to my work. Most of the people in the office disliked me on account I was there to course correct their actions so I needed another outlet.
Back in the room I flipped on the television and surfed the channels looking for anything of substance. Nothing captured my attention so I flipped it back off. There was a tavern a couple of blocks down I had seen, &amp;ldquo;Lucy&amp;rsquo;s&amp;rdquo; I think, so I decided to venture out in search of real people to engage with.
It was a Wednesday night so as expected I was not overwhelmed when I opened the red door with &amp;ldquo;Lucy&amp;rsquo;s&amp;rdquo; in angled script painted in black on its face. Two men were playing pool and drinking beers under a single hanging bulb in the back of the room, a couple was sharing a plate of cheese deprived nachos in the front corner, an empty table with half a glass of white wine, an open book flipped upside down and a single pulled out chair was in the middle of the room and lastly a bearded biker with his head resting on his forearm and four empty shot glasses perfectly lined up in front of him was seated at the far end of the bar. A still full shot clutched in his right fist as he strummed his fingers on its side as if he were fighting the demons telling him just one more wouldn&amp;rsquo;t hurt. No one looked up as I entered.
I pulled out the bar stool furthest from the biker drowning his sorrows and sat down. Not a likely candidate for intelligent conversation I thought.
The bartender, a female with short dark hair medium build wearing a Lucy&amp;rsquo;s logo T-shirt, just like the front door, tied in a knot at her waist above the waistband of her jeans approached and said &amp;ldquo;Welcome to Lucy&amp;rsquo;s, stranger. What will you have?&amp;rdquo; Just as I opened my mouth to answer the man at the opposite end of the bar threw his head back and launched his waiting shot down his throat as he yelled &amp;ldquo;Arrrrgh&amp;rdquo;. He slammed his shot glass down on the bar in perfect succession with the other four and returned his head to his forearm and his now empty waiting fist to its former position as if the glass were still there.
&amp;ldquo;Maybe you should take care of him first. Looks like he needs another and I don&amp;rsquo;t want to get in his way. &amp;quot;
The bartender scoffed and told me that &amp;ldquo;Butch&amp;rdquo; would be fine as long as she had another shot in his waiting fist by the half hour mark as she pointed to the clock behind her head. Six was usually his limit on exact fifteen minute intervals. &amp;ldquo;OCD&amp;rdquo; she whispered with the back of her hand up to her cheek as if to sheild her whisper from his ears.
&amp;ldquo;Bourbon on the rocks then. And I&amp;rsquo;ll try to pace myself so you don&amp;rsquo;t wind up with bookends at your bar keeping your remaining stools empty the rest of the night.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Go wild sweetie! Don&amp;rsquo;t hold back on my account&amp;rdquo; she said as she added two bar straws to my drink and handed it to me.
I took the drink and thanked her. I had noticed movement in the bar in my peripheral vision and rotated my stool around to again survey the place without much hope of finding anyone to talk to based on my initial surveyance. I brought my forward face to the television hanging in the corner switched to ESPN as to not be so obvious.
A woman had returned from presumably the bathroom to the waiting wine glass and book at the empty table. Early forties, died red short bobbed hair with a highlighted streak, thin build and a nice smile. This I saw when she looked in my direction and saw that I was looking in hers as she sat.
After I smiled back I casually brought my eyes back to todays sports highlights and duefully nursed my bourbon.
The woman picked up her book and continued reading as she drank the rest of her wine between pages occasionally glancing towards the bar.
What type of a woman goes to a bar to read I asked myself. &amp;ldquo;One that is looking to meet someone&amp;rdquo; I rhetorically answered. So I decided she was my best shot at any sort of intelligent conversation in this place. No one else had come in.
I finished my drink and swiveled back to face the bar. The bartender had been directly behind me so I said &amp;ldquo;Maybe I will go wild. Another bourbon and a glass of Chardonnay please.&amp;rdquo; I got a surprised look from her but no response outside of a smirk and a nod.
She served the drinks and I stood to approach the lone woman with drinks in hand.
&amp;ldquo;Hi, mind if I join you with a hospitality offering?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Oh! &amp;hellip;please&amp;rdquo; she said.
I sat, introduced myself and struck up conversation. A few minutes in and &amp;ldquo;Arrrrrrgh&amp;rdquo; from the bar and the sound of the shot glass slamming into the worn mahogany of the bar. I looked at my watch. Half past on the nose I noticed.
The conversation was great and we were both laughing a lot. There was definitely chemistry happening between us. I had lost track of time but the man at the bar had not moved an inch and three others were now seated where I had been at the farther end, the nacho couple were now throwing darts and three new men were playing pool in the back and another three were seated at a table nearby.
The bartender came over and stood next to Amy.
&amp;ldquo;Hi Amy. Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun over here? I&amp;rsquo;m on a break and was curious if I could get in on Mr. Bourbon&amp;rsquo;s hilarity for a bit? Does Mr. Bourbon have a name?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Oh, hi Lucy.&amp;rdquo; said Amy as she looked up at her. &amp;ldquo;Sure, have a seat. Mr. Bourbon&amp;rsquo;s name is Christopher. Chris is in from Atlanta on a business trip and is staying at &amp;ldquo;The Shady Lady&amp;rdquo; for a month. He is going stir crazy and needs some intellectual release before he goes mad. He is very funny.&amp;rdquo;
 &amp;ldquo;Lucy, nice to officially meet you&amp;rdquo; I said as I stood and extended my hand for a shake. &amp;ldquo;I had no idea you were the name sake on the building?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Doll Play 3</title><link>/stories/2015/03/19/doll-play-3/</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/03/19/doll-play-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="dollplay2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doll Play 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is all your fault.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;And how do you figure that?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica Stein glared at her partner, Simon Jones. At this moment, she would have loved nothing more than to slap him. Unfortunately, even that satisfaction was denied her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica stood with her back to a metal pole. Her arms, stretched over her head, were cuffed together, the cuffs themselves attached to a ring mounted on the pole. A broad strap around her waist held her pressed firmly back against the pole. In front of her, Simon stood against a second pole, identically bound.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Widow</title><link>/stories/2014/09/01/the-widow/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/09/01/the-widow/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Bruce was bored. It was another one of those cheer up Janet visits that his wife insisted on making. Not that he minded seeing his buxom brunette sister-in-law. But the conversation always seemed to revolve around cooking. Since her husband had disappeared and been declared dead, Janet had done a complete make over. She looked younger, her skin silken smooth and her breasts much fuller. Bruce suspected some insurance money spent on plastics but was too discrete to ask.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Volleyball Team</title><link>/stories/2014/08/25/volleyball-team/</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/08/25/volleyball-team/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tales of Green Valley: Volleyball Team&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Green Valley High girls had a problem. They were a small school in a big district with talent enough to win the championship except for West End High. West End was a big school with lots of good players and every year they would simply swamp Green Valley. This would not be a problem if it was just a game. But the West End girls always made fun of the GA girls, calling them loser sluts on a team from the dump.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Spider and the Clubfly</title><link>/stories/2014/01/29/the-spider-and-the-clubfly/</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/01/29/the-spider-and-the-clubfly/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was a warm night and Joe was in the mood to club. He’d been to several of the other clubs on the strip but grew tired of the generic feel of them, he noticed the glow of a neon sign down the alley he was standing next too. Curious he walked down the alley to the sign, it said The Spiders Den. Nude dancers and lap dancing, unique things and fetishes. This peaked his interest, he walked into the door and looked around.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Latex Dolls 2: Susanne</title><link>/stories/2012/11/13/the-latex-dolls-2-susanne/</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/11/13/the-latex-dolls-2-susanne/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Continued from &lt;a href="latex_dolls.html"&gt;part 1&lt;/a&gt;_&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Susanne&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Samantha had searched down the other corridor and had found an office. Latex magazines stacked on the shelves, the same ones that she and Julian regularly advertised in. She idly flicked through the nearest mag and, lo and behold, There was one of their adverts. It was one that they had felt really good about and featured a full page shot of one of their outfits (a latex cheerleader with a ponytail hood on). But what jumped out the page at her was the big red marker pen circle round it with the word &amp;lsquo;BITCHES!&amp;rsquo; scrawled over it in block capitals. It was all the confirmation Samantha needed. Whoever was ripping off their designs also had a BIG axe to grind&amp;hellip;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Errant Errand</title><link>/stories/2012/10/17/errant-errand/</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/10/17/errant-errand/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Leigh looked around, studying the environs. She knew she was in a situation that could go badly for her with little warning, but that did not scare her. No, the chance of displeasing Holly scared her.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: A Great Discovery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5000 years later&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Steve?&amp;rdquo;
Grabbing the radio, Steve brought it up. &amp;ldquo;Yes?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;ll want to come down here &amp;ldquo;I think we&amp;rsquo;ve got something!&amp;rdquo;
Steve grinned. &amp;ldquo;Really? I&amp;rsquo;ll be right there!&amp;rdquo;
Even as the radio was put down, Steve was already grabbing his camera and running out of the tent. For once, he was able to ignore the blistering heat of the desert as he headed towards the dig site. Around him, men and women were eagerly shouting and running towards the dig site, all eager to see what had been discovered.
From within the crowds, Steve&amp;rsquo;s supervisor emerged, jogged over. An Indian woman, eighteen years Steve&amp;rsquo;s senior, she looked slightly out of place among the local workers, but her well muscled body left no doubt that she was more then capable of joining them on their excavations.
&amp;ldquo;So what do we got?&amp;rdquo; Steve asked, his excitement almost overwhelming him.
&amp;ldquo;Scanners show there&amp;rsquo;s something man sized at the bottom of the pit,&amp;rdquo; Geeta said. &amp;ldquo;With any luck, we should hit it within the next few minutes.&amp;rdquo;
Steve grinned. &amp;ldquo;Awesome.&amp;rdquo;
Leading the way, Geeta led him back towards the dig site, which was nestled near a large outcropping of rock that jutted up from the desert sand. There were numerous scaffolding platforms, winches, and cables strung about a deep hole that was being dug; at fifty feet, it had been very difficult to dig down that deep, but for the prize that might lurk down there, it would be worth all the work, blood, and sweat that had poured into digging.
Reaching the scaffolding, Geeta shooed the curious workers aside. While they were entitled to watch the unveiling, they would need to do so from a spot where they wouldn&amp;rsquo;t interfere with the others.
&amp;ldquo;You said man sized,&amp;rdquo; Steve told Geeta as they both got on a ladder and started down. &amp;ldquo;I take it you meant Sarcophagus sized?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Yes,&amp;rdquo; Geeta said. &amp;ldquo;Precisely. And one of the bigger ones we&amp;rsquo;ve found.&amp;rdquo;
They got off at the bottom of the pit.
&amp;ldquo;Really? How so?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;If our scans are correct, then the sarcophagus is about twenty percent thicker then any other one we&amp;rsquo;ve found, that could mean that the mummy inside is that of a very important person.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Which means they&amp;rsquo;re buried with treasure!&amp;rdquo; Young as he was at the age of twenty, Steve still held dreams of finding gold and all manner of treasure out here on these digs. So far, during his foreign exchange trip for the university, that had yet to happen, but he still held out hope.
Geeta smiled. &amp;ldquo;Possibly, or he just wanted to be extra sure his rest would remain undisturbed.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Well, afraid his luck is about to run out,&amp;rdquo; Steve said, eagerly climbing down more platforms and ladders.
They finally reached the bottom of the pit, where several workers were already digging away at the caked mud, shovels tossing the earth aside and into baskets, where they were rapidly carried up to the surface, emptied, then brought down again. The workers, though weary and worn out from weeks of work, now had a surge of strength, and were tirelessly shoveling, eager to find what was beneath their feet.
Jumping down with them, Geeta took a shovel and joined in, her muscles bulging as she scooped out the hard ground. Above, Steve stayed where he was, taking pictures, for his primary task on this expedition was documenting every find they came across. And while they had discovered some pottery and a few settlements, this find promised to be the greatest of all.
The group dug for several more moments before Geeta&amp;rsquo;s shovel struck something hard.
Everyone stopped, and looked at each other. A hush fell upon the site.
Kneeling, Geeta took a hand trowel, started to carefully dig away at the last of the mud remaining. With several scoops, the earth was pushed away, and she found herself looking at a thick stone surface, jagged and worn down.
Almost unable to breathe, she kept scooping the earth away, revealing more and more of the stone. And with each scoop, it became clear that this was something man-made, and not of the earth.
A few minutes later, and she finally revealed the massive, aged lid of a sarcophagus long buried. Long had they searched for it, and now that it was before their eyes, she couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but smile.
As the workers around them cheered, Steve couldn&amp;rsquo;t stop grinning either.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>End of Days 6: The First Strike</title><link>/stories/2012/08/27/end-of-days-6-the-first-strike/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/27/end-of-days-6-the-first-strike/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="endofdays5.html"&gt;part five&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 6: The First Strike&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;So, where do we go first?&amp;rdquo; Quinn asked Xesex as they all walked outside. &amp;ldquo;You got any ideas?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;The source of the magic is not far from here,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;It is within ten miles. Do you have transportation we can utilize?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Yeah,&amp;rdquo; Quinn said, heading towards her garage. &amp;ldquo;Bought it years ago; never thought I&amp;rsquo;d use it to help save the world.&amp;rdquo; Going over, she opened the door, revealing a large RV inside, easily large enough to carry all of them.
&amp;ldquo;Hmm,&amp;rdquo; Xesex said, looking the craft over. &amp;ldquo;Primitive, but effective.&amp;rdquo; Rapping on the walls, he doubted that it was very strong, but at the moment, it was everything they had, so they would have to make the most of it. &amp;ldquo;We must move out immediately.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Well then, get on!&amp;rdquo; Quinn said, heading for the driver&amp;rsquo;s seat.
As the others got on board, Nia stopped. &amp;ldquo;I can&amp;rsquo;t leave Jude,&amp;rdquo; she said.
&amp;ldquo;The lake empties into a river,&amp;rdquo; Quinn told her as she pulled out the chocks from underneath the wheels. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;d be able to follow us as we drive along.&amp;rdquo; Then, darting into the RV, she pulled out a map. &amp;ldquo;Xesex, can you pinpoint the location of the magic?&amp;rdquo;
His large hands taking the small object, Xesex looked it over, trying to triangulate it. &amp;ldquo;I am not sure,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But it should be here.&amp;rdquo; He tapped a large city on the map.
&amp;ldquo;Ah, you&amp;rsquo;re in luck,&amp;rdquo; Quinn told Nia. &amp;ldquo;The river leads to a harbor next to the city. Your whale can go as far as that.&amp;rdquo;
Nia nodded. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll meet you all there.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Wait, you&amp;rsquo;re not coming up with us?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll ride Jude,&amp;rdquo; Nia said. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s used to it.&amp;rdquo;
Quinn thought, nodded. &amp;ldquo;All right.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;If you will be riding your whale,&amp;rdquo; Xesex said, &amp;ldquo;then I recommend that our group split up. For if I can sense whatever god has entered this realm, he or she will sense me too, and will possibly attempt to attack me en route to the city, regardless of who is with me. If we split our forces, we shall reduce the risk of possible casualties.&amp;rdquo;
Nia thought for a moment. &amp;ldquo;Jude is used to carrying several people at once,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;Some of you can ride with us.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll go,&amp;rdquo; Gromet said. &amp;ldquo;Always was interested in riding a whale.&amp;rdquo;
From his riding spot on Aalyia&amp;rsquo;s back, Robert said, &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;ll go as well.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;d prefer to ride in the RV,&amp;rdquo; Vikki said. &amp;ldquo;That is, Quinn, if you don&amp;rsquo;t mind.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Not at all.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I doubt I shall be able to ride your whale companion,&amp;rdquo; Prince Theodore said. &amp;ldquo;So I shall ride within this RV as well.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Then it is settled,&amp;rdquo; Xesex said. &amp;ldquo;Everyone, to your places. We shall meet again at the harbor outside the city.&amp;rdquo;
As Nia, Gromet, Robert, and Aalyia headed down towards the lake, Quinn, Prince Theodore, Xesex, and Vikki squeezed into the RV. It was easy enough for Vikki to get into the passenger seat, but Xesex and Theodore, being larger than humans, had a more difficult time, and almost tore the doors off while getting inside, and even then, it was a very tight fit as they wedged themselves among the appliances.
&amp;ldquo;All right everyone, hang on,&amp;rdquo; Quinn said, turning the RV on, and sending the giant vehicle onto the road.
At the lake, Nia knelt next to the water. She didn&amp;rsquo;t have to wait long, for Jude quickly swam to the lakeside and partially beached herself. Though curious to see her, Gromet couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but take a step backwards at seeing just how big she really was. Robert and Aalyia did the same, for Jude was the largest killer whale any of them had ever seen, easily at least thirty feet long, and built of solid muscle.
Closing her eyes, Nia put her hand on Judge&amp;rsquo;s snout, and waited.
&amp;ldquo;Jude understands our situation,&amp;rdquo; she said after a moment. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s willing to carry us to the city.&amp;rdquo;
Gromet tilted his head. &amp;ldquo;You can talk to whales?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Only her,&amp;rdquo; Nia explained. &amp;ldquo;We share a telepathic bond that no one else has.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;I never heard of whales being telepathic,&amp;rdquo; Robert said. Even Aalyia, unable to speak, seemed puzzled by the idea.
&amp;ldquo;Then telepathy isn&amp;rsquo;t common in your world?&amp;rdquo; Nia asked.
&amp;ldquo;Nope,&amp;rdquo; Robert said.
&amp;ldquo;No,&amp;rdquo; Gromet said.
&amp;ldquo;Well, whatever. Now, everyone in.&amp;rdquo;
Robert was confused. &amp;ldquo;In?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Yes, in. As in, inside Jude.&amp;rdquo;
None of her companions moved.
&amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t be serious,&amp;rdquo; Robert said.
&amp;ldquo;Yes, I am,&amp;rdquo; Nia said. &amp;ldquo;Jude can swim much faster without anyone riding on her. Plus, if all of us are in her, she can swim under the surface, and go even faster.
Still, none of them moved.
Rolling her eyes at seeing how far ahead the RV was, and how they were stuck here, Nia said, &amp;ldquo;Look, I know this sounds strange to you, but Jude&amp;rsquo;s used to doing this sort of thing. She can swallow people whole, and then regurgitate them up later without digesting them. Same for stuffing people into her womb. We&amp;rsquo;ve done it for years, with both me, and many other people.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;You stuffed people up her ass?&amp;rdquo; Robert said.
Thunder cracked overhead.
&amp;ldquo;Look, there&amp;rsquo;s no time!&amp;rdquo; Nia said. &amp;ldquo;Now let&amp;rsquo;s get in there!&amp;rdquo;
As if wanting to encourage the others, Jude opened her mouth as wide as it would go, waiting.
Gromet looked at the whale, then to Robert and Aalyia. Shaking his head, he walked over. &amp;ldquo;I can&amp;rsquo;t believe I&amp;rsquo;m doing this,&amp;rdquo; he muttered.
Getting down, he slid into Jude&amp;rsquo;s mouth, face first. Jude swallowed slightly, pulling him in. Within seconds, his feet vanished from sight. With Gromet gone, Jude opened again, stretching to accommodate Robert and Aalyia. Those two looked at each other, unsure. But then again, after encountering Anubis in the graveyard of abandoned gods, this wasn&amp;rsquo;t any stranger.
Kneeling, Aalyia waited while Robert reached out and pulled himself into Jude&amp;rsquo;s mouth. There, she swallowed him gently, sucking him into her throat, until his bandaged legs were gone. And then Aalyai got in, wiggling as Jude&amp;rsquo;s muscles worked, and pulled her in.
With the three now safe inside her stomach, Jude rolled over, exposing her tummy. Nia waded in, walking towards Jude&amp;rsquo;s slit.
&amp;ldquo;I swear, some people just don&amp;rsquo;t know when to take the leap,&amp;rdquo; she muttered, putting her feet inside Jude. Once she had been swallowed up to her leg, Nia waited as Jude&amp;rsquo;s powerful muscles took control, and gently pulled her in, until her head, and then her hair, were sucked in, and vanished from sight.
Her slit clenching into a watertight seal, Jude rolled back onto her tummy, then wiggled back into the water. From there, she turned and followed the water out of the lake, and into the river. Taking a deep breath, making sure to get extra air for her passengers, Jude submerged, her powerful tail muscles propelling her through the dark water.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>End of Days 7: Into the Depths</title><link>/stories/2012/08/27/end-of-days-7-into-the-depths/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/27/end-of-days-7-into-the-depths/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="endofdays6.html"&gt;part six&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 7: Into the Depths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;So, how exactly DO we get inside that?&amp;rdquo; Gromet asked. &amp;ldquo;Doesn&amp;rsquo;t look like we can just go up and ring the doorbell.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Storming the fortress would not be a wise move either,&amp;rdquo; Theodore said. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s too well defended. What do you think, Xesex?&amp;rdquo;
The god thought. &amp;ldquo;The tower is protected by very powerful magical energy. A direct assault would be most unwise, and I can sense unseen eyes watching the walls. If we were to try and sneak in, we would be spotted immediately.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Maybe we can sneak in,&amp;rdquo; Quinn said, getting an idea. &amp;ldquo;Look.&amp;rdquo;
At the drawbridge leading into the tower, a steady stream of wrappers were walking in, carrying captured, mummified people.
&amp;ldquo;Perhaps we can disguise ourselves as one of them,&amp;rdquo; Quinn said. &amp;ldquo;Then we get in line, and stroll right in. I don&amp;rsquo;t think those thugs have any brainpower, so they won&amp;rsquo;t notice us.&amp;rdquo;
Xesex thought for a moment, then nodded. &amp;ldquo;A good idea. Who wants to be a volunteer?&amp;rdquo;
Quinn stepped forward. &amp;ldquo;Heck, I thought of it, it might as well be me.&amp;rdquo;
Xesex pointed his finger towards her, focused. Bandages shot forth and wove themselves around her body, squeezing and compressing it tightly. In less then ten seconds, Quinn&amp;rsquo;s body was completely wrapped, save her head. Surprised, she looked her bandaged limbs over, squeezing and flexing them. The bandages were very tight (perhaps a bit too tight around her crotch and breasts, she noticed), and restricted her movement somewhat, but she would be able to walk, and use her arms.
&amp;ldquo;Well, I&amp;rsquo;d say it&amp;rsquo;ll work,&amp;rdquo; Vikki said.
Working quickly, Xesex repeated the procedure on Vikki, Gromet, and Nia, turning them into tightly wrapped, walking mummies. It was unnecessary to wrap Robert and Aalyia, but when all was said and done, the six of them were a perfect match for the mindless guards walking into the tower.
&amp;ldquo;Well, this is new,&amp;rdquo; Gromet said, running his bandaged fingers over his wrappings.
&amp;ldquo;Never been wrapped before?&amp;rdquo; Nia asked.
&amp;ldquo;Can&amp;rsquo;t say that I have.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;If you don&amp;rsquo;t mind me asking, what exactly do you do in your world?&amp;rdquo;
Gromet paused.
&amp;ldquo;Well, I deal in the literary field.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Oh, so an agent?&amp;rdquo;
Gromet thought, nodded. &amp;ldquo;Err, something like that, yes.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Hurry up you two,&amp;rdquo; Quinn said. &amp;ldquo;Can&amp;rsquo;t waste any more time.&amp;rdquo; The line of walking thugs was coming to an end. They&amp;rsquo;d have to move fast if they wanted to get in line and into the tower. &amp;ldquo;Xesex? What about you and Theodore?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;We shall have to infiltrate the tower on our own,&amp;rdquo; Xesex said. &amp;ldquo;For obvious reasons, if we tried to enter like the rest of you, we would be spotted immediately. But do not fear. I will get us inside safe and sound.&amp;rdquo;
With a wave of his hand, he sent out more bandages, began to tightly wrap the heads of everyone present.
&amp;ldquo;Wait!&amp;rdquo; Quinn said. &amp;ldquo;What do we do once we&amp;rsquo;re inside?&amp;rdquo;
Xesex focused his hands, and several small, glowing green balls of energy appeared, before zipping over to each individual, attaching themselves, and merging with the bandages.
&amp;ldquo;There will be someone controlling all this,&amp;rdquo; Xesex said. &amp;ldquo;Most likely that Targonamey man. If he&amp;rsquo;s inside, find him, and do what you can to disrupt his operations. The energy I have just given you all may be used like a bomb, but you can only use it once. Remember: when used properly, stealth is more effective then force.&amp;rdquo;
Then the last wrappings went forth, and covered everyone&amp;rsquo;s head, save their eyes. For Quinn, it was a familiar sensation, having her head wrapped and tightly compressed. But the effect of being wrapped like this was unsettling to the others, who now looked, and acted extremely nervous. She would need to act quickly to move everyone along.
&amp;ldquo;Come on, everyone,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;Follow me.&amp;rdquo;
As Xesex and Theodore slipped away into the darkness of the alley, Quinn headed towards its exit. Vikki, apparently used to being bandaged, responded immediately, helping the others along, guiding them with a friendly hand. Grateful for the help, Quinn stopped, peered out at the mummy guards walked along, carrying their squirming, wrapped prisoners.
When the last one walked by, Quinn took a deep breath, and dashed out
As she had hoped, none of the wrappers looked back when she got in behind them. Vikki, Gromet, Nia, and Aalyia dashed out, though Aalyia was slower, due to carrying Robert on her back. But they got into line, and followed the wrappers, trying to stay evenly spaced, so as to attract as little attention as possible.
Reaching the drawbridge, they crossed over. When they entered into the tower itself, they followed the wrappers as they went through numerous tunnels of chiseled stone, eventually reaching a chamber resembling an ancient Egyptian temple. Here, the sense of being watched diminished considerably, suggesting that it was safe to move around without fear of being seen.
As the last of the wrappers turned the corner, Quinn motioned for everyone else to hide next to the wall, which they did so. Sneaking to the edge, she peered around.
They were in a large throne room of some kind. At the end was a large, royal throne, and upon it sat Targonamey, with two tall cranes perched beside him like silent guards. Quinn couldn&amp;rsquo;t be sure, but she got the feeling they would be as effective as any guard when it came to fighting.
Targonamey himself was watching as the wrappers walked past, each momentarily stopping to display their captives for his inspection, a process that consisted of him running his fingers over their wrappings to ensure tightness and consistency, and then a nod. With that, the wrappers then took their captives through another door, and out of sight.
&amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s happening?&amp;rdquo; Gromet whispered.
&amp;ldquo;Shush,&amp;rdquo; Quinn said, holding up a hand. Someone, or something, was coming out of another, larger door, and she wanted to see who it was.
She got the shock of her life upon seeing a massive, canine-like being with a thick, muscular human body, but with the head of a jackal. Even without knowing who it was, Quinn recognized him from all the pictures she had seen throughout her life.
Holy shit, he&amp;rsquo;s real?!
&amp;ldquo;So, Anubis,&amp;rdquo; Targonamey said, standing. &amp;ldquo;How much time do we require?&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;A few hours,&amp;rdquo; the Egyptian god of the underworld said. &amp;ldquo;The other towers report that they are ready. We&amp;rsquo;re the last one. But I must caution you, we do not have much time left if this is to succeed.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Yes, I know,&amp;rdquo; Targonamey said. &amp;ldquo;But there are still many who can be saved. We will loose many, but I will not stand by and quit while there are still many we can acquire.&amp;rdquo;
So that was it, this Targonamey character was gathering up all the individuals on the planet and putting them in these towers. But why? Obviously, there was something he was planning to do, but Quinn didn&amp;rsquo;t have the faintest idea. All they could do was try to stop him, as the event would be very unpleasant, no matter what it was.
Anubis started to walk away, then stopped. He turned, and for a moment Quinn feared they had been spotted. But the god&amp;rsquo;s gaze went towards the ceiling, as if he could see beyond it.
&amp;ldquo;We are not alone,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;One of my kind is here.&amp;rdquo;
A frown betrayed Targonamey&amp;rsquo;s calm demeanor. &amp;ldquo;What? You mean another god is here?&amp;rdquo;
Anubis cracked his knuckles as he headed for the door. &amp;ldquo;I will deal with him. But be warned, it is likely that he didn&amp;rsquo;t come alone.&amp;rdquo;
With that, the god was gone, leaving a now worried Targonamey to himself.
Quinn turned back to the others. If Anubis could sense Xesex&amp;rsquo;s presence, then they needed to move fast.
&amp;ldquo;All right, we need to get going,&amp;rdquo; she said. Reaching down to the bandages enveloping her chest, she withdrew the glowing energy bomb Xesex had given her. &amp;ldquo;Let&amp;rsquo;s split up. Find a place that looks good, then set your bomb. After that, we then get the hell out of here.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;But how the heck do we make these things blow?&amp;rdquo; Nia asked, looking over her bomb.
&amp;ldquo;A good question,&amp;rdquo; Robert said.
&amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t know!&amp;rdquo; Quinn said, impatient. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m just making this up as I go! Now let&amp;rsquo;s go!&amp;rdquo;
The others split up, heading down various corridors and hallways, until Quinn was left by herself. She looked down to her bomb, pondering exactly how to detonate it, and realizing that she didn&amp;rsquo;t know what to do about the mummified people stored in the tower, but she trusted that Xesex had thought ahead to that, and ensured that they would stop Targonamey, but not harm the people he had taken.
Okay, all we have to do is go through the depths of a huge, labyrinthine tower and try to blow it up without killing anybody, Quinn thought. Easy enough.
She started towards a nearby stairwell when she heard squawking from nearby. Turning, Quinn saw one of Targonamey&amp;rsquo;s cranes flying nearby, looking straight at her.
&amp;ldquo;Uh oh,&amp;rdquo; she whispered.
The crane shrieked, and charged at her.
Quinn turned and ran up the stairs, the crane in close pursuit, with it&amp;rsquo;s companion now following after her.
Reaching the top of the stairs, Quinn headed through a thin tunnel that was packed with dozens of mummies who were entombed within the walls, all squirming and struggling. A few were half buried in the walls, their legs kicking, which made it difficult to get past them, the cranes were knocked to the ground, giving Quinn more time, and she silently vowed that if she got out of this, she&amp;rsquo;d come back and personally free up all those trapped in this room.
Exiting the hallway, she emerged into a large rotunda that composed the center of the tower, stretching up high to an unseen ceiling. Here there were practically no walls, only mummies that had been lashed together and tied to the walls, or dangled from chains, still struggling and squirming within their wrappings until there was nothing around Quinn but white, struggling forms. And this was only one level, for the higher up she looked, the more and more mummies she saw.
This entire tower must be packed with them, she thought. Thousands of captured people, all wrapped up and bandaged, then entombed within the walls of this tower for some unknown purpose.
The energy bomb pulsed in her hands, apparently signaling that this was the place to drop it. But even then, Quinn hesitated. Would it really be so right to drop a bomb among all these mummified people, who could possibly be hurt by the resulting blast?
The screeching of unseen cranes grew louder.
There was no time to second guess. All Quinn could hope was that Xesex had thought this through. Taking the bomb, she tossed it down the rotunda, until it vanished from sight far below.
Relieved, Quinn was glad the bandages around her head were in place to soak up the sweat. Now all she had to do was hide until the heat died down, then get the heck out of this tower, find the others, and get as far away as possible.
But it was not meant to be.
The cranes shot out of the hallway, screeching upon seeing their prey.
Oh shit!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>End of Days 8: Desperate Escape</title><link>/stories/2012/08/27/end-of-days-8-desperate-escape/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/27/end-of-days-8-desperate-escape/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="endofdays7.html"&gt;part seven&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 8: Desperate Escape&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Had this been any other time, Quinn would have been in heaven&amp;hellip;. being fully mummified was a rare delight; being mummified and then locked into a rubber lined coffin was unheard of. Having someone else in the coffin with her was too good to be true. And yet, here she was, fully absorbed into one of her greatest fantasies. But this wasn&amp;rsquo;t playful or wondrous. It wasn&amp;rsquo;t a dream.
This was a nightmare.
Deep within her wrappings, Quinn could see or hear nothing; just darkness and an awful, awful silence that pressed down on her, reminding her that this was all she would know for the rest of her life, and there was nothing she could do about it. She could struggle all she wanted, but the bandages would keep her body tightly restrained. They were her jailers and guards, ensuring that she would serve out her sentence, and they could not be bargained with, nor would they listen to her pleas of mercy. They would be her constant companions for the rest of her life.
Quinn cried, or tried to. The outside world she had known and loved was gone forever. It still existed, but she would never enjoy it again, it would move on, with people going about their lives, but she was locked away in this private, personal prison.
Worse still, was knowing that she would eventually be forgotten. Others would forget about her, but she would still live in the darkness, serving her sentence.
She cried again, and despite all the bandages stuffed into her mouth, a faint sob managed to escape, even though nobody would ever hear it. But apparently, someone did, for her companion shifted. Having only been constructed to hold one prisoner, the coffin made it hard for either to move. But move the second prisoner did, wrapping her arms around Quinn&amp;rsquo;s mummified body, and squeezing her as best she could, trying to give Quinn a comforting hug, reassuring her that even when locked up, at least she wouldn&amp;rsquo;t be alone.
But there seemed to be something else. Even through all her wrappings, Quinn could sense that her cellmate was moving, apparently trying to do something. Exactly what, she wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure. She wanted to know what it was, but with her eyes, ears, and mouth sealed, there was nothing she could do.
So, helpless, she lay back, and tried to figure out how she was going to get through all this without going insane.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stargate 3: Magical Trap</title><link>/stories/2012/08/12/stargate-3-magical-trap/</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/12/stargate-3-magical-trap/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continued from &lt;a href="stargate2.html"&gt;part two&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Weaver had been given the go-ahead by her queen, Arachne – so she put her plan into motion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her targets were the local female super heroines who were immune to the Spiderwoman pheromones that could control the males. They were also far more intelligent, so she and Arachne has developed a multi-stage plan to both capture these “annoyances” so they didn’t impede Arachne’s scheme to take over Earth. They also though provided a unique opportunity to the Spiderwoman race via the Stargate to have super-powered slaves, a unique food source AND provide new breeding stock to genetically improve their race.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stargate 1: New Order</title><link>/stories/2012/07/29/stargate-1-new-order/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/07/29/stargate-1-new-order/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 1: New Order&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carter had entered the new dialling codes.. The gate opened up to a New World. Carter plunged through the gate, with her 3 supporting officers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They landed inside a clearing so Carter left 2 officers to guard the gate. She and the other one followed a path away from the clearing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the guards Miranda, the tall blonde, heard a cry from behind some trees. She raced through the bushes and emerged to find a naked brunette woman cocooned in some sort of sticky web on the ground. Over her a tall slender naked woman with no hair was perched, extruding thick silk webbing with her 6 arms to wrap her up.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stargate 2: Setting the Bait</title><link>/stories/2012/07/29/stargate-2-setting-the-bait/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/07/29/stargate-2-setting-the-bait/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continued from &lt;a href="stargate.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Struggling to stay awake Carter looked at the spider goddess Arachne, she was highly impressive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Who are you?” Carter stammered, as she tried to break free but found she was tightly wrapped in thick silk webbing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m Arachne, your goddess” Arachne smiled “and you are Carter of the Taree. Most useful indeed.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arachne then explained to Carter that she was descended from Earth spiders and had been created by the Ancients from spider and human DNA. On her world the spider humans had become dominant and their prey was normal humans for all sorts of purposes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Pussy Silk 2: Out in the Park</title><link>/stories/2012/06/16/pussy-silk-2-out-in-the-park/</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/06/16/pussy-silk-2-out-in-the-park/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="pussysilk.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pussy Silk&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It had been a while since Sue had caught her prey, and although playing with him was fun, she felt that she needed something other than a toy. So after going through the nightly routine, she left her silk wrapped prey hanging from the ceiling and went out for the night!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a fairly busy night at the club when she pulled up and got out of the car. She handed the valet her car keys and gave him a generous tip as well as a seductive wink.

Her tits were large and firm with firm nipples and her vagina was smooth and barren, she was a gorgeous redhead that looked 30.

It seemed that she could not find interesting topics for her writing and no editor was interested to publish her stories. She had decided to solve this problem by interviewing some far-out movie makers. One to start with was a mysterious latex movie producer, Salomon X. She thought that such an interview would be a hot item to be sold to Hustler or maybe Playboy. She had succeeded to have an appointment with this mysterious Salomon X at a film studio.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mei</title><link>/stories/2011/03/11/mei/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/03/11/mei/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;As they slowly rounded another corner Ashleigh didn&amp;rsquo;t see anyone she was interested in.

She knew Sally was getting a bit fidgety in the back of the van. Sally was her genius. Without her Ashleigh was sure she wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have anywhere near as much fun as they did together. Halfway through a Chemistry Major that she didn&amp;rsquo;t need, Sally worked wonders with molecules.

Not your average clothes though. They designed and made latex clothing that they sold on sites like ebay. Basically they were small-time, but they had a lot of fun doing it. Both of them had day jobs, but most evenings and weekends would find them hard at work; Samantha sketching away at her drawing table and Julian cutting, glueing and assembling the designs she came up with. The sort of stuff they designed and sold was &amp;lsquo;clubwear&amp;rsquo;, basically nothing too heavy or outlandish, mostly t-shirts, skirts, tops and briefs. But Samantha&amp;rsquo;s flair for design and the quality of Julian&amp;rsquo;s dressmaking had seen their little business take off, despite the recession.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Erin &amp; Eleanor</title><link>/stories/2011/03/10/erin-eleanor/</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/03/10/erin-eleanor/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Please!” she begged, “have mercy!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kneeling before the altar, Erin struggled against the bonds that held her. Eyes wide with fear, she stared at the man who stood looking down at her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You were found stealing from me,” the man said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It was only garbage, my lord,” she replied frantically. “Please forgive me, I was starving.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Garbage it may have been,” the man said serenely, “yet it was mine, not yours to take. I’ve a mind to let you be the food, instead.” Smiling, he nodded toward the altar.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Unexpected Disposal</title><link>/stories/2010/11/22/unexpected-disposal/</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2010/11/22/unexpected-disposal/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;She was walking on the beach when she saw a bluff in the distance, a long cliff that began as a sand dune and then sloped up into a big hillside, and then dropped away towards the ocean, forming a picturesque bluff, complete with sea grass over the top, and a sandy white face dropping to the beach. She had been walking for about two hours, and being new to the area, she wanted to explore some more.

&lt;p&gt;Like any self respecting Dom I am always on the look out for potential subs/slaves. I had just recently joined flickr and was browsing the various groups looking for ideas. And there in one of the groups message pools was a message that caught my attention. Nothing ventured nothing gained. After several weeks of email and chat it was agreed it would become my slave.

&lt;p&gt;“That’s right. They say it’s so the house always has someone to play with”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was the end of August and summer was ending, but that was when the real fun had started for Kris, who owned an old factory in the bad part of town. The city offered her a deal of no property taxes until she could find new people to rent or buy the factory she had inherited. The tax board figured correctly that she couldn&amp;rsquo;t afford the taxes, and if they forced her to demo the building, it would turn into a Superfund site and use up millions in tax money. If that happened, those jobs had a less than zero chance of returning to the community. The local thugs left the place alone, possibly because there was a rumor that the place was haunted, a rumor that Kris perpetuated. As a result the place looked much the same as when her relatives made whatever mechanical things the factory was known for.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Nurse Katrina</title><link>/stories/2009/11/05/nurse-katrina/</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/11/05/nurse-katrina/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;She&amp;rsquo;d worked for Doctor Alan White for a couple of years, but Katrina never could get to like him very well.

&lt;p&gt;Being a rubber and latex fanatic for many years, Jenny had visited many
fetish shops and online stores in search of the perfect toys and apparel.
She was a small town girl who lived alone in a meagre apartment in the big
city. By no means was this twenty one year old girl unattractive. She had
short light brown hair, thin lips, and deep blue eyes that a man could get
lost in. Her breasts were a tad on the smaller side of average but
wonderfully firm and round, but her crowning glory was an ass that could stop
traffic. She was proud of these traits but never really had any instinct to
use them to get what she wanted. Putting forward the strong face of a hot
successful business woman in an intimidating city all day long was taxing
and she always longed to return to her apartment to escape. Men would
constantly proposition her and she was nearly raped once, so she had no
drive to associate with any man.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Drider &amp; the Jogger</title><link>/stories/2005/03/18/drider-the-jogger/</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Mar 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/03/18/drider-the-jogger/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drider:&lt;/strong&gt; a hybrid between

&lt;p&gt;Samantha glanced down at her wristwatch. 6:30 AM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Dang.” She thought. “I’m going to be late getting
home. Better pick up the pace.” She quickened her stride, the
powerful, well-toned muscles within her calves pumping in response.
Her shoes began to hit the pavement faster and faster as her speed quickened.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sorority Horror</title><link>/stories/2002/10/22/sorority-horror/</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2002/10/22/sorority-horror/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;He had devised the perfect

out the most beautiful six girls to be his unknowing victims.  He
had mailed out invitations to the girls a week before inviting them to
spend the night in the “Haunted” house.  The one who made it through
the night he had offered $100,000 to.   Though he really had
planned to have six wonderful mummies by the end of the night and the $100,000
was going to stay in his pocket.  It was now the night and the girls

&lt;p&gt;Brief Synopsis: After the DT9000 finished with Sharna in the &lt;a href="smartducttape.html"&gt;first story&lt;/a&gt;, it shut down
and awaited its owner to either upgrade the unit or turf it with the trash.
However, Sharna&amp;rsquo;s neighbour, after hearing nothing from Sharna for nearly
two days, decides to come by and see if she is ok. Upon finding the house
seemingly deserted, she enters through a window that Sharna often leaves
open by habit, and soon finds Sharna wrapped tightly in the lounge room.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kim's Tail 1: Kim's Introduction</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/kims-tail-1-kims-introduction/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/kims-tail-1-kims-introduction/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter 1: Kim&amp;rsquo;s Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kim walked into the solicitors’ office with a certain degree of discomfort.  She wore a simple black dress, with matching handbag and shoes, as befitted the occasion.  But even this nod to the conventions normally expected was a lie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hypocrite”, she silently cursed.  “He was a complete bastard and you’re not sorry that he is gone.   The only reason that you are sitting here is for your chance to get your hands on 1.2 billion or at least a share.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lillith's Tails Part 5: The Birth of Lillith</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/lilliths-tails-part-5-the-birth-of-lillith/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/lilliths-tails-part-5-the-birth-of-lillith/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="lilliths_tails4.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lillith&amp;rsquo;s Tails Part 4: Lillith&amp;rsquo;s Vengeance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)_&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eve Smith was the sort of quiet intelligent young woman that is usually quietly ignored by the rest of society. At twenty nine years old Eve&amp;rsquo;s tall thin good looking form would make her the object of man men&amp;rsquo;s fantasies but her natural shyness led her to wearing loose fitting clothes and her glasses did their best to hide her face. Added to this Eve had been a lesbian her entire life and found most of the men around her trying at best. She found it a sad fact that men mostly sought women for their looks not their intelligence and almost comical that as a woman blessed with both she found them depressingly predictable in their advances.
For the past three years she had risen steadily through the ranks at GenTec a small medical research company that had just changed hands after their former parent company went under. For the past six months she had been the senior scientist of one of the larger labs under the direction of her oppressive administrator Adam Hart one of those bigoted men that hated her for refusing his advances and feared her for her intellect.
&amp;ldquo;Evelyn may I have a word.&amp;rdquo; Her supervisor’s voice interrupted her train of thought and she looked up from her microscope trying to hide her irritation.
 A stick thin balding man in his fifties Adam had a perpetually hunched posture made him look like some bizarre form of vulture that was enhanced by his ill-fitting lab coat. At this precise moment he was stood by the entrance to her lab a sly smile plastered across his normally dour face.
&amp;ldquo;Yes sir what can I do for you&amp;rdquo; she replied attempting to keep her distaste for him out of her tone.
&amp;ldquo;As you know my dear our change of ownership has caused something of a shake-up in all the departments” he shrugged his shoulders as if to say such problems were to be expected before continuing in his usual dull monotone “people are being reassigned, promoted and even let go it’s unfortunate but this disruption is one of the problems we have to work through.&amp;rdquo;
Hart&amp;rsquo;s oily condescending smile just seemed to ooze self satisfied triumph, his dislike of Evelyn&amp;rsquo;s rapid rise and disruption of his routine was well known and his gloating attitude wasn’t reassuring.
&amp;ldquo;Am I being reassigned sir&amp;rdquo; she asked carefully.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Pussy Silk</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/pussy-silk/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/pussy-silk/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was a normal day, not unlike any other day, Joe had just left the local market and ran across an old friend.

&lt;p&gt;The Green Valley High girls had a problem. They were a small school in a big district with talent enough to win the championship except for West End High. West End was a big school with lots of good players and every year they would simply swamp Green Valley. This would not be a problem if it was just a game. But the West End girls always made fun of the GA girls, calling them loser sluts on a team from the dump.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Crystalline Insert</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-crystalline-insert/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-crystalline-insert/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Once upon a time there were two women.

&lt;p&gt;My arms ached. My back ached. Damn it all even my legs ached but there was no respite for us. With every lurch of that cart we were flung from left to right and every stretched sinew screamed its disapproval.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We of course had no choice in the matter. Our cries had been silenced by huge ring gags forced behind our teeth by a web of black leather straps that made our voices their prisoner. Wide black leather cuffs encircled our wrists and dragged them high above our heads where they were tied tightly to the crude wooden poles that made up the roof of the Golliwogs crude but utterly effective cage tumbrel.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
